My large painting of a
bull moose is definately
coming into happy
existance. The call of the
moose draws me into
my studio. To paint that
massive frame, huge horns
and those boldly inquisitive
eyes.
This is a 4 ft x 6 ft
canvas with a giant
moose featured on it.
Phone and stop by the
studio to see him develop.

Also I am excited
to be part of the West Coast
Mural project. Check out this
upcoming mural at website
www.muralmosaic.com and
look for my panel #86. It is
wonderful to participate with
such great artists as
Robert Bateman.
Newest painting "Steady and Swift"
just uploaded onto the website. It is
a larger painting 3 feet x 4 feet and
shows the solid integrity of stone
with elusive translucent water.
I am pleased to annnounce that
I now have BC Wildlife Federation
artist proofs of "Winter Wanderer"
available for purchase.

Artist Statement

I am caught in wonder at the natural
world. " Come look at this, how beautiful
this plant is, how intricate this spider
web is and look how the stripes on a
chipmunk echo his shape. Come see
what I see." A perfect moment worthy
of notice and remenbering - that is what
sets me to painting. I paint to say what
I can't find words for .....to share
with you.
I paint with watercolours on paper
when I am portraying a subject that
is illusive and delicate. For stronger
or brighter topics I change to acrylic
on canvas. The challenge of taking
these materials and creating with
them is at times delightful and at other
times a wonderful struggle.
But always worth heading to the studio.
